"Do It Yourself" Snorkel Tour |
 |
 Cozumel is an island just big enough to be an adventure but not so large that one feels intimidated going it alone to explore. Since Cozumel is ranked in the top three as a world class diving destination, one simply has to put their face in the water to understand why.
If you'd like to consider getting certified to scuba dive then click here to learn more about diving in Cozumel. The good news is that a person does not have to know how to scuba dive in order to enjoy the exciting underwater beauty Cozumel has to offer.
It simply stands to reason that as a world class dive destination ~ Cozumel snorkeling has to be great too!
What better way to explore the beauty of Cozumel's spectacular reefs and colorful tropical fish than by snorkeling. One can easily snorkel via a boat trip (click here for Our Favorite Boat Snorkel Trips) and luckily from shore as well.
Cozumel's shorelines gently slope toward deeper waters and provide miles of beautiful snorkeling just a couple of steps from the waters edge. With a simple set of mask, snorkel and fins a person can immediately enjoy the colorful underwater realm just a few yards off shore!
Snorkel Stops:
#1 Playa Calatita
#2 Playa Villa Blanca
#3 Playa Bella Vista & Sunset Beach
#4 Marina Caleta Playa & Paradise Reef
#5 PalMar Estate and Dzul Ha
#6 Butterfly Sanctuary Pit Stop
#7 Playa Uvas
#8 Playa Corona
Step 1: Get Equipped!! Decide if you want to invest in your own set of snorkel gear or if you simply prefer to rent snorkel equipment while here on the island. A decent set of snorkel equipment which consists of mask, snorkel and fins can easily be purchased for US$30 - $50 in the USA. Do NOT try to purchase equipment here on the island since everything is imported, prices will be higher. Snorkel equipment rental prices range US$8 -$12 daily. So make your decision based on how much you plan to snorkel!
Also, decide if you feel you need to invest in a flotation device to assist you while snorkeling. Some feel most comfortable with the self inflatable snorkel vests. These are available for purchase in the US for US$ 30 - $50 each. Rental prices for snorkel vests run US$ 8-10.
Step 2: Book a rental car now ... Since Cozumel has few paved roads around the island, you can rent a car and strike out on your own island tour with very little chance of getting lost. As long as adventurers stay on the pavement, they eventually come full circle around the island. Circling the island via paved road can take as little as 2 hours or as many as you want depending on how many stops you decide to make along the way!
Step 3: Print the Beach Chart & this section about Cozumel's best snorkel spots!
Step 4: Secure an island map. You can secure an island map from the car rental agency or you can order online Franko's Cozumel Map
Step 5: Have fun & enjoy your day in Cozumel!!

Just want you to know that everything worked out great with LessPay! They honored their web price, let us pick up a day early, and when the car had problems (bad brakes & clutch), they happily swapped it out for another car the next day, no questions asked. We were very impressed with how efficient they were with paperwork, and they even offered to drive us to the ferry when we turned the car back in! We will definitely use them again and will recommend them to others. Their prices were reasonable and they were very friendly (and spoke English, too). R. Wolf ~ Mimon, MA

OHThis was the hightlight of our trip! We will be back!
(Our guide)SAID- WAS FANTASTIC.....Couldn't of had a better guide! He went out of his way to give the best trip ever! .....We will be snorkeling all day on our next trip with Eagle Ray.
Sorry I missed you Sherri, would have liked to meet you! We had a private trip because another couple had scheduled but didn't show! ! would of paid extra for a private snorkle all day. Sherri -something that I would suggest! There is nothing better than one guide SAID of course with a couple all day!
I can't explain into words what an amazing trip this was! Don't get stuck on a boat with lots of people on a tour!
Thanks a bunch EAGLE RAY/ And of course SAID! Cindy and Jay Miller ~ parkersburg west virginia usa

Everything worked out great. Dolphins were wonderful. Less Pay vehicle was drivable, didn't use as much as I thought I would so glad I saved $100 or so instead of using Avis. We loved Cozumel, saw your office, and visited your neighbors at the real estate office downstairs. Thanks for all your help and great web site! S. Dooley ~ not given

What a great Experience!!! We booked our excursions through this website with a slight bit of apprehension. We figured it would be safer to book through our cruise ship since this was our first time going to Cozumel. Boy am I so thankful we didn't. Our cruise ship (which we thoroughly enjoyed) had many excursions organized with tons of people in each excursion. By booking through Cozumel Insider we were definitely given smaller groups to be with.......then we booked a Resort Scuba with Eagle Ray Divers. We had one on one attention with Antonio (the owner), our own boat to go out on, and then got personalized attention with the lesson and dive. I know that if we had booked on the cruise ship there probably would've been many other people that would've needed attention, it would've taken more time and it would've diminished our experience. This dive was definitely worth the money and was the most memorable activity we had on this vacation. Highly recommended!!!!
Next year we will definitely book through Cozumel Insider, we will recommend this company to all our friends, and we plan on booking with Antonio for more scuba next time!!!! Dr. Marvin Carson ~ Tullahoma, Tennesseee

We had a fantastic time - what an adventure! Your on-site staff were great and our group thoroughly enjoyed our Helmet Dive. We explored the Chankanaab Park, snorkeled in the beautiful water, and "toasted" ourselves with Nachos and cold beers - a wonderful afternoon. Thanks for a super experience! J. Moon ~ Carson City, NV
